As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the 2026 season, there are high expectations for the team, despite some unrest at the top. A Cowboys insider has posed a significant question regarding the potential impact of newly signed veteran edge rusher Von Miller on the defense, particularly if he averages 10 to 15 snaps per game.
Miller, who is 37 years old, is expected to enhance the Cowboys' pass rush. The team hopes he will not only contribute on the field but also serve as a mentor for younger players.
Edge rusher Marist Liufau has already noted the value of having Miller in the locker room, describing him as “like another coach” who actively engages with the team and shares his insights.
Expectations for the Cowboys are notably high this year, with a stronger overall roster and a promising defense, alongside one of the NFL's top offenses. Will McClay, the vice president of player personnel, expressed confidence in Miller's ability to still pressure quarterbacks and emphasized the importance of his leadership for younger teammates.
He believes that Miller's experience will be invaluable for players like Malachi Lawrence and others learning from him.
